Re: U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes

If the manufacturer is going to be putting religious quotations on weapons, then they should be putting something on them that boosts morale, not depress the soldiers. Any passage about riding Mary's ass would be good.

But I gave you a great choice for a god which would support you. It's not Jesus though, that guy doesn't have anything to do with anger and killing. Athena is wisdom and war; that's the goddess for you.

I love it when folks tell me how to interpret my religion. 'Specially Lefties. And most epseically when they seem soooooo confused about the whole thing.

Re: U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret 'Jesus' Bible Codes

Not really confused on the subject. In fact, I think it's pretty damned clear. Jesus did not endorse killing other people. His message was always one of understanding, humility, and forgiveness. It's not I who is confused on the Christian religion. If you're praying to the Christian god to kill your foes, it is you who is confused. The Christian god is not a god of war. I gave you a viable alternative; but Christianity is not a religion of hatred and killing. It's peace and forgiveness. If you haven't figured that out yet, then yes you've got your religion all wrong.

You do understand that Jesus and God are the same cat, right? Jesus, AKA God, is the same deity that, according to the Bible, knocked down the walls of Jericho, so the Israelites could slaughter everyone in the city.

But, hey, I'm going to step out of this conversation, because if there's one thing I don't argue about, it's religion.

Yes, that's why I used the word interchangeably. That's why I said you're praying to the wrong god when you pray for the deaths of others because Jesus did not endorse the killing of others. Thanks for keeping up.

Things like "this" will be used by the Islamic radicals to prove their point that the US is on a holy crusade against Islam. It will mean more recruits to their cause.

Not my fault you are blind to the obvious.

Folks like you will whine about anything that will paint the US in a bad light, further supporting your claim that Islamic terrorism isn't the fault of the Islamic terrorists, but rather the fault of Western Christians.

In case you haven't figured it out, the jihadists will always be able to find something to use for propaganda. Hell, they would insist that fried pork-chops are a deliberate afront to Islam.

All I can say, is that instead of worrying about what's stamped on the side of a rifle scope, let's examine the goobers that are stupid enough to buy into the jihadist propaganda.

What a load of crap to say. I dont whine about things that paint the US in a bad light, the US does that all on its own.. or rather, certain American's make the US look bad. And as for the idea that "western Christians" are the reason there is islamic terror... solely hell no. But do they have a role in starting and especially keeping it alive? You bet they do and only the most brain dead would deny that.

Of course, but that does not mean we have to hand them excuses on a silver platter does it now?

No, lets worry about why it costs so much to buy such a scope.. talk about price gauging and lets talk about why it was not discovered before now. And then lets talk about why such actions play into the hands of the jihadists and then we can discuss why people will believe things like this or many other things that people believe in.. like Saddam had WMD and was behind 9/11. Just shrugging it off is like denying that ones diet and lack of exercise does not contribute to ones obesity or that ones 2 pack a day habit did not cause the lung cancer.
